I currently have this Zeiss binoculars from the 80s (therefore the emphasis on "west germany"). They work good enough and are ok-ish sharp, but i think contrast and color rendering are not very good.

I would be interested what others use and what experiences you have with it.

Opticron Verano 8x40.

The focus dial is buttery smooth, better than any other I’ve tried, that’s a game changer. I couldn’t tell the difference in dispersion and brightness between these and the comparable Zeiss when I tried several brands at my local bird store.
